Howdy do. My name is Shane Lassetter and I write books. I live in Lake Jackson, TX. and this would be ideal for me. I was wondering how I can get involved with Armadillocon this year. I would like to have a booth. Please email me a response. Thank you.

I’ve been published under several names, and under the name Jimmy Misfit, I will have a comic dystopia collection titled The Silliest Stories Out of Bustleburg: America’s Worst City come out in July from JMS Books. I’d be interested in speaking on panels if you’d be interested in having me. Please let me know if you have questions or if there are specific requirements. Thanks so much for your time! David

Is there a special rate for the hotel this year? Usually by this time there is a code to make your hotel reservations or a way to link to the reservations page that already has that code entered. I don’t see that or any contacts page to directly email the person in charge of the hotel.

I would like to submit a proposal for a presentation, “From Texas to the Moon with John Leonard Riddell” about the first working scientist to publish a science fiction story. I just delivered a version of this earlier this month in Dallas at the World’s Fair of Money of the American Numismatic Society. (Riddell was also the chief melter at the New Orleans Mint.) I have new artwork for this coming from Brad Foster. Kurt Baty saw that presentation and can give you feedback on my content and style.

Will the program be published at some point? I need to plan my schedule and coordinate with my fellow attendees, but I’m running out of time. There isn’t even a ‘not available yet’ link! And the con starts in less than a week! Usually it’s up at least a week ahead of time. Can I help? This was also the only place I could find where it was even possible to leave a comment.
